In the spring of 2014, concern grew among the friends of Shelly Renee Strode, a 31-year-old woman from Louisville, Kentucky. Friends realized they had not seen or heard from Shelly, and after some time had passed without any contact, they reported her missing on April 3, 2014. At the time she was last seen, the details of her clothing were unknown, and it was unclear what her possible destination might have been.
The Louisville Metro Police Department was contacted, and an official missing person report was filed, launching an investigation into her disappearance. The circumstances surrounding the last time anyone had contact with her remain vague, with friends only able to say they had not had any communication with her since sometime in April 2014.
Shelly Renee Strode is described as a white female, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing between 150 and 180 pounds. She has blond or strawberry blond hair and her eye color has been noted as both blue and green/hazel. One of her distinguishing physical features is a crooked front tooth. Shelly also has several distinct tattoos that could aid in her identification. On the back of her neck, she has the name 'Jordan' in cursive writing. One of her upper arms features a colorful design with two hearts and two banners. On her other upper arm, she has tattoos of two names and dates: 'Tammy M. Kendall 1951 2001' and 'Brandon G. Strode 1985 - 2008'.
The investigation into Shelly's disappearance was opened by the Louisville Metro Police Department. Despite the passage of time, very few details about her case have been made public. Information regarding what she was doing or who she was with around the time she vanished has not been released. Her case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The lack of information has made it difficult for investigators and her loved ones to piece together the events leading up to her going missing. The overview of the case is that Shelly Renee Strode, a woman with notable tattoos and a distinct physical feature, vanished from Louisville, Kentucky, under unknown circumstances in the spring of 2014, and there has been no contact with her since.Last Seen: Apr 3, 2014
